direct damage coverage. Property insurance that pays the value of property that has been damaged by a covered cause of loss or the cost of its repair or replacement. This is in contrast to time element property insurance, which pays for loss of income or increase in expenses that result from the unavailability of the damaged property while it is being repaired or replaced.
Insuranceopedia explains Direct Loss. Direct loss is differentiated from consequential loss and indirect loss. The latter two refer to damages or injuries caused not by the direct action of the insured but by some other event or factor following the action of the insured. To illustrate, office furniture lost during fire is a direct loss.
